Organizational Values in America

by William G. Scott

Book Overview

This sequel to the authors' acclaimed Organizational America reconsiders the central theme of that volume--the unprecedented growth of the modern organization in America and the replacement of American founding values by the values of the modern organization. That book warned that as the modern organization becomes the dominant social and economic reality in American life, influencing everything that individuals do on and off the job, the consequences for the future would be severe. The authors saw an America forced into a path that unimpeded could result in totalitarianism.

Can we change?

This book really made me think. I thought I never would agree with the authors' conclusions, but after looking at those people close to me (father, father-in-law, uncles, friends, etc.) who are no better off now than when they started working in Organizational America 30 years ago, I have to agree.Can we change before things get worse? Maybe with Hart's & Scott's recommendations and insights (really nothing more than reiterations of what most of us already know and believe) we can!
